What a special way to celebrate Women’s Day! 💜✨

On Thursday, we had the honour of attending a Women’s Day celebration hosted by the British High Commissioner. It was wonderful to share the occasion with partners from across the GBVF sector, including Dr Esme Swanepoel and Dr Ntokozo Myeza from the Victoria Hospital Thuthuzela Care Centre, together with our very own Abongile and Edith.

The celebrations actually began the day before, when the High Commissioner and her entourage visited Jelly Beanz. They were captivated by our beloved Toffee 🐾, and genuinely inspired by the work our team does every day to support children and families affected by trauma.

We are grateful for the opportunity to build these relationships and to stand alongside so many passionate people working towards a safer future for all.

💜 Together, we are stronger.

One of the greatest gifts we can give a child is the feeling that they belong. 💛

At Jelly Beanz, our Friendship Wall is more than a collection of handprints—it’s a reminder that every child who walks through our doors matters. It says, “You are seen. You are valued. You belong.”

On his final day with us, one of our brave clients chose to leave his handprint behind. Not just as a goodbye, but as a symbol of how far he had come, the challenges he had overcome, and the place he will always have in the Jelly Beanz family.

Healing isn’t always found in the big moments. Sometimes, it’s in knowing that you were accepted, supported, and never alone.

67 Minutes. Lasting Impact. 💙🧡

Today, our hearts are full.

We were overwhelmed by the incredible kindness of 12 volunteers from Swift International Human Resources, who spent their 67 Minutes for Mandela Day spreading warmth, compassion, and hope at Jelly Beanz.

They arrived with hot chocolates, noodles, and oranges, reminding us that even the simplest acts of generosity can make a meaningful difference. Their thoughtfulness brought smiles to both our team and the children and families we serve.

Madiba reminded us that “It is in your hands to make a better world for all who live in it.” Today, Swift International Human Resources lived those words.

Thank you for choosing to spend your Mandela Day with us and for making every minute count. Together, we continue to create a safer, kinder world for children.

We were honoured to have one of our team members attend the launch of PLACE (Peace as Lived And Connected Experience), hosted by the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG).

With the inspiring presence of IWPG President Jeon Na Yeong from South Korea and other distinguished delegates, the event reminded us that peace begins within ourselves, our families, and our communities. By sharing our stories and choosing peace before conflict, we can create a better future for generations to come.

Together, we’re building a more peaceful tomorrow.

When Anxiety Takes Shape…

Children often communicate through play long before they can explain their experiences with words. In play therapy, clay becomes more than just a creative activity—it becomes a language.

This child created their anxiety using different colours, textures and features. The use of multiple colours is particularly meaningful. Anxiety is rarely just one emotion. It can be experienced as fear, anger, sadness, frustration, confusion, loneliness, or even feeling overwhelmed—all at the same time. Children often struggle to separate these emotions, and instead experience them as one “big feeling.”

By externalising anxiety into a clay figure, the child moves the anxiety from inside themselves to outside themselves. This creates emotional distance, making it easier to observe, describe and eventually manage. It also provides valuable insight into how the child experiences their internal world, allowing the therapist to explore each part with curiosity rather than judgment.

In play therapy, we don’t simply ask, “How are you feeling?” We create opportunities for children to show us.

Every colour has a story. Every creation has meaning. And every child deserves to have their emotional world understood.
